• One-design asymmetric action for light teams
• Responsive, tactical and very exciting
• Low sheet loads that are easy to manage

Hull
The cockpit is roomy and deep enough for comfortable hiking, with toe straps adjustable for both height and reach. The thwart gives the crew a comfortable light wind position. The open transom allows the RS200 to virtually self drain after a capsize and a moulded self bailer quickly removes any remaining water. An immensely strong hull laminate ensures a long competitive life and trouble free sailing. 

A pivoting centreboard and rudder make launching and recovery easy. Their resin transfer moulded construction provides enormous strength coupled with lightness.

Designed for all combinations of strength and experience in the helm and crew, the layout allows either sailor to perform important functions such as spinnaker hoists and drops plus cunningham and kicker control. All fittings are of top quality.

Rig
The rig makes the most of modern developments in power control, giving a broad competitive weight range and improved handling in all conditions. The mylar mainsail has ultra-soft full length battens. These reduce "ragging" to extend the life of the sail, yet still allow the sail to de-power at rest. The dacron jib is easy to "read" in light winds. Sheet loads are very low, so even the lightest of sailors can enjoy the ride.

Anyone who has sailed an RS200 downwind in a blow will testify to the boat\'s fantastic excitement and pace. Asymmetric spinnakers are fun to use, tactical on the race course and very easy for the crew to handle. One single line, which can be operated by either the helm or the crew, launches the pole and hoists the spinnaker. The same line, pulled the other way retracts the pole and stows the sail in the chute. It's so easy everyone can enjoy the fun!
